If you want to do well learn from people who have the same superpower as you ie if you are very patient then find people who made money from being very patient. If you are a go getter doer then look for people that made money that way A big mistake is just following or learning from people that have done well as all being good paths - that doesnt tell you if you have the same disposition to do it or enjoy it You know that people have different preferences in partners physically, emotionally etc but then people look at their life path as something where just following someone successful is going to help. Thats like someone who needs a supportive caring partner marrying a ceo alpha type because other people said thats better and being miserable I say this another way which is follow people who are further ahead than you but same temperament but thinking in terms of what I mentioned here opens up possibilities ie if you are patient for eg there is many ways not just investors that you can learn from This helps for every area of life whether its philosophy, relationships etc
